Contrast the Upright and the Wicked
1
A
1
wise
son
accepts his
father's
discipline
, But a
2
scoffer
does not
listen
to
rebuke
.
2
From the
fruit
of a
man's
mouth
he
3
enjoys
good
, But the
desire
of the
treacherous
is
4
violence
.
3
The one who
5
guards
his
mouth
preserves
his
life
; The one who
6
opens
wide
his
lips
comes to
ruin
.
4
The
soul
of the
sluggard
craves
and gets
nothing
, But the
soul
of the
diligent
is
made
fat
.
5
A
righteous
man
7
hates
falsehood
, But a
wicked
man
8
acts
disgustingly
and
shamefully
.
6
Righteousness
9
guards
the one whose
way
is
blameless
, But
wickedness
subverts
the
sinner
.
7
There
is one who
10
pretends
to be
rich
, but
has
nothing
*
; Another
pretends
to be
11
poor
, but has
great
wealth
.
8
The
ransom
of a
man's
life
is his
wealth
, But the
poor
hears
no
rebuke
.
9
The
12
light
of the
righteous
rejoices
, But the
13
lamp
of the
wicked
goes
out.
10
Through
insolence
comes
nothing
but
strife
, But
wisdom
is with those who
receive
counsel
.
11
Wealth
obtained by
fraud
dwindles
, But the one who
gathers
by
labor
increases
it.
12
Hope
deferred
makes
the
heart
sick
, But
desire
fulfilled
is a
tree
of
life
.
13
The one who
14
despises
the
word
will be in
debt
to it, But the one who
fears
the
commandment
will be
15
rewarded
.
14
The
teaching
of the
wise
is a
16
fountain
of
life
, To
turn
aside
from the
17
snares
of
death
.
15
18
Good
understanding
produces
favor
, But the
way
of the
treacherous
is
hard
.
16
Every
19
prudent
man
acts
with
knowledge
, But a
fool
displays
folly
.
17
A
wicked
messenger
falls
into
adversity
, But
20
a
faithful
envoy
brings
healing
.
18
Poverty
and
shame
will come to him who
21
neglects
discipline
, But he who
regards
reproof
will be
honored
.
19
Desire
realized
is
sweet
to the
soul
, But it is an
abomination
to
fools
to
turn
away
from
evil
.
20
22
He who
walks
with
wise
men
will be
wise
, But the
companion
of
fools
will
suffer
harm
.
21
23
Adversity
pursues
sinners
, But the
24
righteous
will be
rewarded
with
prosperity
.
22
A
good
man
25
leaves
an
inheritance
to his
children's
children
, And the
26
wealth
of the
sinner
is
stored
up for the
righteous
.
23
27
Abundant
food
is in the
fallow
ground
of the
poor
, But it is
swept
away
by
injustice
*
.
24
He who
28
withholds
his
rod
hates
his
son
, But he who
loves
him
29
disciplines
him
diligently
.
25
The
30
righteous
has
enough
to
satisfy
his
appetite
, But the
stomach
of the
31
wicked
is in
need
.
